Voglio Di Più Lyrics in English Jovanotti

Home / Lyrics Translation / Jovanotti / Voglio Di Più

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Voglio Di Più by Jovanotti from Italian to English.

I want more

It's never enough

I want a giant sandwich stuffed with a million things

I want Madonna to take her to bed

And then send her a million roses

I want a tub full of Coca-Cola

And while I swim I want to drink and tan

I want to call the American President

And on the phone I want to vent

I want a plane, what am I saying, a ship

What am I saying, a shuttle, a submarine

I want to marry a thousand girls

And for each I want a child

And I want a helmet of whipped cream

And I want to put it on my head

And then eat the whipped cream

Eat it all, down to the last bit

I want to be thin, muscles on display

I want clothes from every designer

And I want to win the Oscar and the Telegatto

The Lion and awards nobody's ever seen

And it's never enough

It's never enough

I want to know the reason for things

I want boobs like two melons

I want to know books by heart

And the words to a thousand songs

I want to fly over downtown Milan traffic

I want to patch up

The ozone hole

I want peace along my streets

And also between my parents

And I want to win every war

I want to hear even more noise

And I want to go to number one

In the scorers' rankings

I want to coach the Italian national team

I want to be the General of the Carabinieri

It's never enough

I want to know tomorrow's weather

I want to know what people think

I want to know the dark corners

Of my soul and of my mind

I want, I want, I want the 'I-want' grass

I want to meet extraterrestrials

I want to see with the lights off

I want to find good teachers

And it's never enough

It's never enough

I want to abolish the death penalty

In every corner of the universe

I want to stay a child forever

And find the things I've lost

I want to speak every language

I want a TV with a thousand channels

I want forgiveness for every sin

I want to talk with animals

I want to know who shot first

I want to sing more in tune than Mina

I want to know which came first

The egg or the chicken

I want to pay billions in taxes

I want to discover an oil well in my yard

And a spring of sparkling water

From the faucet of my sink

I want Gorbachev made Pope

And my sister to find a job

I want hair super long and straight

I want to find both a friend and a treasure

And I want to live my whole life

And it's never enough

It's never enough

And it's never enough

It's never enough

I want more

SONG MEANING

“Voglio Di Più” is Jovanotti’s playful, turbocharged shopping list of everything a restless mind can dream up. In a breathless cascade of wishes, he swings from the ridiculous—a giant sandwich packed with “a million things”, a hot-tub of cola—to the sublime, like abolishing the death penalty and ending every war. The refrain “non mi basta mai” (it’s never enough) pounds like a heartbeat, reminding us how quickly one desire sparks the next. Each line is delivered with wink-and-a-grin exaggeration, turning the song into a comic strip of over-the-top cravings that race past money, fame, love and even cosmic justice.

Beneath the jokes, the track pokes fun at our modern urge to keep upping the stakes. By fusing childish fantasies with serious global ambitions, Jovanotti shows how human longing can be both inspiring and insatiable. The result is a catchy, high-octane satire of consumer culture—and a gentle nudge to ask ourselves where real satisfaction actually comes from, once the last “voglio di più” has echoed away.
